Knit-along with us! Lace patterns in
knitting add texture, interest, and beauty to many projects. The
Monochrome Cowl by Joji Locatelli is no exception. The project showcases
four different lace stitches separated by fields of stockinette that allows
each lace pattern to shine. Join us for a knit-along of this lovely new
pattern -- casting on Sunday, May 7 with progress meet-ups on June 4 and July
9, and a finished project show-and-tell on August 6!

Class! If you'd like to familiarize yourself with the stitches included
in the Monochrome Cowl before you cast on for the knit-along, join us
for the Monochrome Lace Knitting Class on Saturday, May 6! We'll
discuss the Monochrome Cowl pattern, learn about
knitting lace from written instructions and from charts, and practice
each of the four lace stitches that are featured in the cowl - all while
making a charming cup cozy (some people use them as wrist warmers
instead!).

Pre-class instructions:
⦁ Cast-on 60 stitches. Follow the Monochrome pattern (without
changing needle size - just pick a size and stick with it) until you
have six total rows of ribbing. Knit two rounds in stockinette. We'll
be ready to dive right into the lace when we get to
class!
